Starts Pro Quad Motocross Career
2009 WA State Motocross Championships -
Round 1
|
Luke Gaisford made his first Pro race at
round 1 of the Western Australia State Motocross
Championships |
Western Australia (5/7/2009) -One
of the biggest State round race meets in recent
years, both Quad grids were at full capacity.
Luke started on the outside Gate in Race 1, roaring
off to great start and getting through traffic
smoothly to be in 4th position by end of lap 1,
plenty of drama between the 2 front runners as
Luke came through the carnage unscathed, following
closely behind Ant Yewers in 2nd. A battle royal
ensued as the oldest and youngest Pro's battled
it out in every corner, Ant successfully denied
the youngster a pass at every challenge until
with just one lap to go, Luke's persistent's paid
off passing Yewers over the infield tabletop,
he held on to the lead for his first Pro Race
Win.
Race 2 saw Luke again in 4th at the end of the
first lap, but passing Glen Ashworth put him in
3rd, and he held onto this position til the chequers.
Race 3 Luke got a good start and followed McKay
and Yewers around in 3rd, the extremely rough
track was a battle in itself to stay on, let alone
put in fast laptimes, the Leader Chad Mckay came
to grief over a jump and as Yewers and Gaisford
grabbed the opportunity to put in a last ditch
effort to race for the chequers only1 ½
seconds separated them over the finish line
Luke finished the day in 2nd and
commented that he couldn't wait til Round 2 !
